Adveritising is Big at the Corner of Dundas and Yonge


It's not Times Square and it's brighter at night, but when it comes to beating the hell out of your consuming sensibilities, the corner of Dundas and Yonge is no slouch. Thank goodness true Canadian spirit remains intact - notice the can of Labatt's Blue under the LG sign. Party on dudes! This is one of the 'famous' corners in Toronto - although any intersection with Yonge Street is well known. All the streets in Toronto run either north-south or east west - which makes getting around pretty easy. Yonge Street is the most central of the north-south streets and therefore has the most stores, cars, bums, hookers, etc. The Subway runs under Yonge Street from Finch in North York (way the hell up there) to Union Station by the Lake. From there it loops back North a little further east. Shopping on Yonge Street includes anyting from the primo stores in the Eaton's Center to antique stores up near St. Clair to Canada's most shopped post yuppie, going on mid-life crisis outlet, Sporting Life.
